James Wiseman leaving Memphis to prep for NBA

That didn?t turn out very well for Memphis.

Even without him, they're still a very good team. However, they needed him for a chance to win it all. Without him they're probably a S16 to E8 team at best.

Memphis showed that NCAA.


Yeah, they really held the ncaa by the nuts with the publicity of that lawsuit. ***

This didn't turn out well for the NCAA. Memphis has a humungous fan base for basketball. The NCAA makes their money from the NCAA tourney. The Memphis crowd hasn't been this excited since Calipari's teams. They're a guaranteed sellout. The longer Memphis is in the tournament the more money the NCAA makes. This wasn't the outcome they wanted.

The ncaa couldn't care less about Memphis. That has been proven many times.

It's not a good business move by the NCAA.

Right now more and more players are bypassing the NCAA altogether. When they do get a one and done'r they give him no reason to stay. He might as well work on his career. That's what's most important.

The NCAA needs to get rid of the one and done. Go to the baseball model. But until then they either need to actually try and clean it up or stop punishing kids for what grown adults do.

The infractions happened when he was a kid. Other people made the choices. Don't make it so difficult for these people to play, because all this will do is give potential lottery picks more reasons to skip the ncaa
